Chapter 57 White Bone Relic
In the Ancient Era, celestial demons descended upon the world, spreading cultivation techniques distinct from Immortal Dao cultivation methods. Most of them involved absorbing flesh, forcibly plundering, and primarily seizing souls. These techniques often invoked negative emotions, such as anger, hatred, malice, and cruelty, to stimulate the body’s potential.
The Immortal Dao primarily focuses on nurturing, emphasizing gradual progression. Although the pace is slow, it excels in stability,
While the Demonic Dao relies mainly on plundering, often using extreme methods to elevate one’s cultivation. Those who practice demonic paths often suffer from mental disorders or succumb to inner demons. Out of a thousand people cultivating the Demonic Dao, nine hundred and ninety-nine typically perish.
The Demonic Dao is known for its high mortality rate and high risk.
However, it has the advantage of low requirements for cultivation aptitude, suiting those with Four Spirit Roots or Three Spirit Roots; the cultivation speed is also rapid, comparable to that of a Celestial Spirit Root, taking only a little over a decade to reach the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation.
The "White Bone Dao Scripture" further enumerates examples of three legendary demonic cultivators.
The Emperor of Reincarnation, born with Five Spirit Roots, initially underwent cultivation at an Immortal Dao sect but only reached the Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation at seventy. However, by chance, he acquired the demonic techniques of the Soul-devouring Demon Sect, soared to new heights, established his Foundation at seventy-five, reached the Purple Mansion at a hundred, formed his Golden Core at two hundred, then attained the Nascent Soul at three hundred and fifty, ultimately creating the Six Paths Demon Technique and Renincarnation Demon Vein, and ascended to the Immortal Realm.
The Hehuan Old Demon, born with Four Spirit Roots, was used as a furnace for female cultivators in childhood but later received supreme inheritance and began to rise. Through cultivating methods that naturally restrained female cultivators, he frequently battled across levels, defeating and capturing female cultivators to use them as furnaces, becoming a Nascent Soul True Monarch at just two hundred.
In his era, the originally bottom-ranked Joyful Union Demon Vein became the foremost branch of the Demon Dao.
The White Bone Demon Monarch, with a Celestial Spirit Root, comprehended the mysteries of the Buddhist Sect and invented the White Bone Relic. He established his Foundation at fifteen, reached the Purple Mansion at thirty, formed his Golden Core at fifty, and attained the Nascent Soul at eighty, becoming acclaimed as the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator in history.
The allure of Demonic Dao techniques is incredibly strong.
